Problem Brief
Score Points
NEW GRADOA
There is a board with N cells (numbered from 0 to N-1) arranged in a row. The board is described by an array points and a string tokens, both of length N. The K-th cell of the string tokens is either 'T' or 'E', indicating whether the K-th cell contains a token or is empty.
If the K-th cell contains a token, we assign the number of points equal to points[K]. Additionally, we score another for every pair of adjacent tokens. The goal is the total number of points we score?

1Example 1
Input
points = [3, 4, 5, 2, 3], tokens = "TEETT"
Output
9
Explanation
Cells 0, 3 and 4 contain tokens.
The sum of points in these cells is 8.
Also, there is one pair of adjacent cells with tokens, which result in 1 extra point. The function should return 9.
2Example 2
Input
points = [3, 2, 1, 2, 2], tokens = "ETTTE"
Output
7
Explanation
Cells 1, 2 and 3 contain tokens. the sum of points in these cells is 5.
Also there are two pairs of adjacent cells with tokens, which results in 2 extra points.
The function should return 7 :)
3Example 3
Input
points = [2, 2, 2, 2], tokens = "TTTT"
Output
11
Explanation
All cells contain tokens. The function should return 11 :)
Constraints
Limits and guarantees your solution can rely on.
points and string tokens are of the same length N;N is an integer within [1, 100];points is an integer within the range [1, 1,000];tokens consists only of the characters 'E' and/or 'T'.
